Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

This is a Title I campus where our learners face adversity out of their control in their daily lives. Covid-19 has made these adversities even greater. In Math class, they are amazingly motivated to improve but focus the most when they get to collaborate using hands-on materials.

This hands-on math collaboration teaches them social skills that will guide them through life.

This collaboration with hands-on projects helps increase their content knowledge and build retention when relationships are formed.

Emotionally, when chatting amongst their peers, their understanding and acceptance of differences increase. They learn quickly that some of the best groups are those that have several perspectives and backgrounds.

My Project

My learners spend the entire 4th quarter delving into the world of geometry. Hands-on creations of 2-dimensional shapes to assemble into 3-dimensional objects are by far the projects that interest my learners the most.

Learners will be constructing a project of their own creation using the 2-dimensional shapes cut to build a 3-dimensional project.

This project will be built by having students use a Cricut machine to cut out shapes for students to fold into 2-D & 3-D. These created composite shapes are used to measure volume and surface area. In 6th grade, we focus on simpler shapes, but by the time they are in 8th grade, we are building cities, roller coasters.

Collaboration is a must when engaging in hands-on projects but because of Covid-19, individual supplies are needed. Supplies needed include the requested cardstock, the Cricut mats, and the magnetic set. This requires more supplies than in the past. These supplies will help learners achieve learning Nevada math standards while peaking and keeping their interest.
